Re: load-on-startup / classloader bug??
doh! not only did i not mention which version i'm using, i also mispoke... mondays... so, i'm using the latest tomcat 4.0 out of cvs (co'd this morning). also, it's in the servlet init method, *not* it's service method where the thread is created. when i get some time, i'm going to try and recreate this in a small example that i can post. -kevin. kevin seguin wrote: i have a servlet that creates a thread in it's service method. this thread basically does a bunch of initialization stuff. when i add a load-on-startup element for this servlet in web.xml, it reports a NoClassDefFoundError on a class in the same package as the servlet. i have not seen this problem with any other load-on-startup servlets. the only difference is that this servlet kicks off a new thread. ideas? is this a bug, or just bad programming on my part (well, not really my part, but that's another story...)? i started to look through the startup/loader/class loader, but quickly got overwhelmed :) With the current code it will fail indeed. so, is this considered a bug in tc 4.0b4? is it something you plan on fixing? is it something i could fix myself? i'm trying to migrate to tc 4 (from tc 3.x) so i'd like to know whether or not this will be fixed so i can decide what to do about servlets that have this problem. if it's fixable, i'll either wait for the fix or do it myself. if it's a big deal to fix, i'll have to look into reworking my servlets. just looking for some expert advice here. i'm not too familiar with the catalina internals. thanks.

With the current code it will fail indeed. any reason(s) why? will this be fixed? thanks, -kevin.
